Yeah, also came here to point out Corelle. For many years I had a set of Corelle plates and bowls and such that they sold at Target, cheap and aimed at college students.

Likely there's a very mundane reason it hasn't replaced all standard glassware, such as being slightly more expensive or having limited design shapes/forms (thinking of the plates). This doesn't exactly strike me as "evil capitalism," just "throwaway culture". The difference is the consumer makes that choice when both options are available, but one is cheaper.

Debian is one of the few distros still offering a tier-1, first-party i686 target in 2024. Even a lot of derivative distros (i.e. where it would be minimal effort to do the same) have dropped i686.

Given the enormous scope of this transition, I have to wonder how many will be benefiting from this 15 years from now. I don’t question it will have utility, but I wonder about the ROI.
I'm a long time material ui user and always disliked the tailwind approach of slapping classnames in a long string.

There is really no difference, instead of a string with classes I have a bunch of props. Time to look at tailwind again...
How much more convenient than a $10 Amazon purchase does access to emergency AM need to get?

Would having each new car come with a portable AM radio in the glove box be an acceptable solution? What if car AM came locked to an emergency government frequency?

From my perspective we're looking at broadcasters cooking up culture war so they don't have to negotiate with the auto industry to keep their business running, and the end result will just be increased car prices for everyone.
I highly recommend the Rich Hickey talk “Simple made Easy”. Complexity doesn’t sell well at all, but easy does. If a company can hire a bunch of people that know how to use ‘foo’ and the industry keeps talking about ‘foo’, they’ll choose it even if foo is a complete boondoggle. See lambda architecture, most Apache projects, containers, etc
Monitoring energy usage with smart plugs, Prometheus and Grafana
The article neglects to mention Datalight C, the first C compiler using data flow analysis optimizations. It did such a good job that the magazine reviewers decided it was cheating by deleting the meat of their benchmark codes. What actually was going on was the benchmark code was proven by DFA to do nothing, so was removed.

Within a year other compilers started doing DFA.

The article also neglects Zortech C++, the first native code generating C++ compiler. ZTC++ was the catalyst that made C++ a major language, as the PC was where 90% of the programming was. Before ZTC++, C++ and Objective-C were neck and neck, judging from the volume on comp.lang.c++ and comp.lang.objectivec. With ZTC++, the volume of the former exploded, and Objective-C disappeared into oblivion (later resurrected by Apple for a while).
High-end blenders too. All I want is speed dial, pulse switch, and on/off switch. And that's all anyone wants, but for some reason every new generation has to have all these functions nobody uses.
It’s a giant telecom company that already had some pretty big red flags around how they treat employees from my own network.

The best part is that she already interviewed there a while back. She got a backend interview and didn’t pass (she’s primarily frontend); not a big deal but she gets a message from a new recruiter about every 2-3 months about the same role. This time it was just AI doing it.
> So far, over 3,000 people have applied to one open data science vacancy at a US health tech company this year. The top candidates are given a lengthy and difficult task assessment, which very few pass

Obviously the company should select one large project, break it down (with the help of AI) into 1500 steps, and farm it out to candidates as "task assessments" that can be cross-checked and then folded together into an app.
> If apple cares that much about the box, imagine the effort they put into the rest of the hardware, software, and experience

faulty logic. if that was the case, they would intentionally over engineer the box, and leave everything else shitty, in order to save money. the box doesn't matter, the product matters.

Question stays, however, is "the impact" and the produced value how you measure your own's life fulfillment?

1) For ~everyone, the authenticity check for an app is simply whether it exists on an app store. I think the only time I ever checked the signature on software outside the app store is for my bitcoin wallet.

2) Legit trusted applications are already what siphons everyone’s content, not malware. At least in the browser there’s uBlock Origin and even a dev console.

Just some things to keep in mind when comparing the differences.
Now if you tried this with a hot bolt and equally hot nut, the bolt would contract along its length, but the threads would get looser so it’d probably still be a net loss for clamping load.

Rivets, on the other hand, are commonly heated and forged so that both ends have a head, and then as they cool the clamping load increases. This was very common a hundred years ago, but my understanding is that bolted joints provide a more predictable clamping load and that is why they are so dominant today.
I think another aspect of complexity is that your customers, either internal or external, have a very specific idea of what they want, even if their idea is trash. So your product needs to be flexible(complex) enough to support all the use cases conceivable. Going to a customer and saying "trust us, do it this way" will make them lose interest fast.

Marketing is the king. Spend resources on memeing your way into people minds, then advertise “we removed the cruft to give you <something>” (more space, better experience, whatever you can think of, even if it’s a big stretch) as some sort of revelatory breakthrough and bleeding edge innovation - and they’re gonna buy it and joke about “uncool” others’ microwaves with silly extra buttons are, affirming how cool their microwaves are.

Worked for a lot of crap on the market.
I would guess Apple removed the flags to sidestep thorny geopolitical issues.

For example, China and Taiwan will disagree on what flag to show for the language they share.

Also, the article shows two different parts of the UI. For Monterey, it shows the UI for adding a language, for the older OS, that for adding a keyboard layout.

That UI still has ‘icons’ (a dark rounded rectangle with letters in it, for example “SQ” for “Albanian” or “USPC” for “US International – PC”) in Monterey.
I'm not aware of any major mobile platform which works like that though, maybe in theory it could be done but in practice it's all powers to the manufacturer which can modify or remove your apps at any time silently.

Unless maybe you are on some things like GrapheneOS and only install apps though fdroid, that's not really a mainstream configuration though.
Compared to other engineering disciplines, it seems like software is one that is most susceptible to veer towards complexity. Is it the ease of iteration? The relative youth of software engineering?

simplicity is the habit of zen, toaists, sufis and franciscans or the school of wirth - the mystics. Minorities each. It's just not appealing to the masses and the proponents don't really care about mass-recognition, either.

But they go on nevertheless, stubborn as they are.

From what I've read it seems that certain types of data structure (incl. anything with potentially circular references) are difficult to write in Rust - you are more fighting the language than it helping you. I'm really comparing to C++ rather than C (where of course anything is possible, as long as you DIY).
Debian is not switching to 64-bit time_t on their x86 architecture, because they see it as a legacy architecture whose primary use is running legacy binaries.

This transition is mainly to benefit 32-bit ARM since it's likely to be used in new systems for many more years.
Some projects need documentation, some need cookbooks. Sounds like traefik is the latter.

Hopefully as an aside (I know very little about traefik so maybe I am talking about them too and don’t know it), it seems like in the time since I abandoned Java they have weaponized that architectural strategy and I have no patience for it. I look at that sort of documentation and my eyes glaze over. Or if they don’t I feel disgust or anger and all three result in my stomping off.

Opentelemetry, particularly the stats code (vs the span code) triggered a lot of this in me. It has several sets of documentation that say different things. It took me a long time to figure out how to connect the amorphous dots, and then I didn’t entirely agree with their solution anyway.

The problem will get better, even if the direct effect of no pesticide home gardens of course is negligible.

But it helps change the mindset of people. People who live in garden with a diversity of wildlife, who find joy in the butterflies (and their larvae), who are appalled by the thought of poison their own air, water and soil, soon start to buy organic food and vote for stricter environment protection laws.

In addition, while it might not change the world, the amount of pesticides and herbicides used by all the homeowners in a city like LA isn’t insignificant, in particular not for the local wildlife.
That’s a peculiar fact, I wonder where that originated.
I also use NginxProxyManager (8 hosts) and I'm not seeing any replies to your post that would explain why caddyserver or traefik provide any benefit over NPM.

The interesting thing to me reading this is that it's basically saying how much recruiters and hiring managers dislike/are wary of this AI-infused job application process. On the flip side, I've heard tons of complaints on the other side from job seekers: not just that job hunting is hard in a down market, but that the reign of modern ATSes means that it's a constant "battle against the algorithm" to even get noticed, tons of fake or outdated job postings, and rarely even an acknowledgement about the state of the application.

I mention this because this seems like an area where lots of people wanted to throw AI at the problem, but I have a tough time finding anyone, on either side, that thinks that automation and AI improves the process in any way.

Relates to ease of iteration, but imo the biggest factor is no real responsibility when things breaks and how it is expected for software to break.
Ask HN: How is your company using AI?
I'm being asked (pressured?) to get all my developers to 'us AI as much as possible'... so what are the real uses that others have found truly effective, or even transformative... right now we're rolling out CoPilot lics to all our devs, but so far, it's not being used much and basically everyone seem to have the same opinion... '...it is somewhat better autocomplete, but with the added bonus of giving you bogus and / or incorrect responses... so it keeps us on our toes at least.' That's essentially what all my devs have said in one form or another.

Are we missing some higher level uses, or is it that simple? There seem to be a sort of fever dream in management that these tools will magically make unit tests for example 'automatic now', but so far we've not seen that pan out.

What are others strategies around Ai and tools like CoPilot? Are there certain uses / trends that are actually really effective?
Well, there's two issues here. The first one is the obvious one: BoM cost.

> In interested in learning why say, a device would be much more expensive if we use 1GiB of DRAM chips instead of 32MB.

Those are different product categories. The IoT devices tend to range from ~400KB of RAM to around 1MB of RAM. Most have the RAM in package, not external, so putting more RAM is expensive because it is done during fabrication.

The most recent IoT product I delivered for a client was based on a esp32-C3 (RISC-V) module with under 300KB of usable RAM and 4MB of flash, of which exactly 1MB can be used for the program code.

It cost $5. The one which allows you to have slightly over double the program code (around 2MB in flash, out of 8MB) is $7.50, but it has the same RAM in-package.

At those differences, that extra $2.50 is literally more than the client would make off each device sold!

And, of course, it's a $5 component. Using 32MB/1GiB as a reference point is basically entering the lower end of rpi territory; basically a different product for a different use.

The second issue is product differentiation. Products are priced based on what the market will bear. The actual cost of production matters very little once a developed product hits the market.

Something with 1GiB of RAM is intended for a very different market than something with 32MB of RAM. A manufacturer who simply goes ahead and places the extra RAM in (and adjusts the sales price to ensure that it balances out) is:

a) Leaving money on the table for those use-cases where the customer is willing to pay twice as much,

b) Missing out on sales because that $5 increase in price moved it out of consideration in the market it was in.

What you'll mostly find if you go ahead and replace 32MB with 1GB (or 1GiB, which is close enough) on some product is that no one uses it for the higher-spec use-case[1] and you've lost some sales on the low end.

[1] Because RAM is not the only upgraded component in the higher-level use-case products. I'm not too familiar with products in the > 512KB ram class, so take the following with a pinch of salt (i.e. I might be wrong). Typically the 1GB RAM products are used for a specific use-case. Those use-cases can't be done on the ~200MHz cores that come with the 16MB/32MB SBCs. It's cheaper to simply switch to a rpi-class of computer that comes with all matching components.

A quick search shows that there really aren't many sub-1GB devices anymore, anyway, other than industrial components.
Adjusted for coolness points the ROI is pretty good, though. :)

Besides, maybe there will be some digital (ARM?) dust running 32-bit Debian in the future.

Solving complex problems is worth promotion. Delivery complex solutions for the sake of them being complex is not.
Another approach is to use HP Microserver. It provides a "real" server with options to use Xeon, ECC RAM, iLO (remote KVM) in a relatively compact and silent package and not very expensive price.

If you want to use self-built server, you might be interested in pikvm project which allows to build a remote KVM using Raspberry Pi. Remote KVM is very useful for home servers: you can put it in the shelf and use it remotely, including things like tinkering with BIOS, reinstalling OS and resetting.

Also do not forget about fire hazards. The thing that works 24/7 can burn your house. Keep that in mind.

When you put it this way, it seems more reasonable. Obviously you shouldn't reward or validate tantrums. At the same time, however, empathy is an easy way to acknowledge misplaced emotional reactions without encouraging them.

Meeting a tantrum with "I know you don't like the taste of vegetables, but they're an important part of growing up and you must eat them before having sweets." is different from "In this house, you cannot cry if there's no real pain."

There's no fine line between valid responses and manipulation. For manipulators, the pain FEELS real. The pain is a part of a learned behavior. Guiding those feelings instead of making a hard rule cutoff will have better results and build better trust.
If you can no longer see yourself, you can't know how you look to others.

That makes more sense. Maybe something with the Docker plugin? That or GP messed up.
> It makes me wonder if this piling-on of requirements is also enabled or encouraged by computers.

You can build a radar with pen and paper but you can't build an effective stealth bomber with the same. You can't build guided weapons without computers. You can't effectively build hyper-accurate guidance and navigation without computers.

Without computers you're at late-40s early 50s weapon systems. If everyone is stuck at that level you've got some amount of balance in capabilities. The first side/power to apply computers to increase capabilities has a significant advantage over all competitors.

Even if the availability of computers makes things more complex the increased capability is often worth the complexity in aggregate.

The first Gulf Ware is a good object lesson. Iraq had a large and capable military that was several technological generations behind their opponents. The Coalition forces could operate at night with impunity, had unbroken communications behind enemy lines, and could operate in enemy airspace largely uncontested. If the Coalition forces had the same level of technology and dispersion of high technology through the ranks, the Gulf War could have easily been fought to a stalemate or worse.
